Boxing, said the renowned orthopaedist, is one of the oldest sports in the world is also one of the most complete, precisely because practising this discipline develops coordination of movements, especially between arms and legs, and muscular harmony. It is therefore a useful discipline for the improvement of certain qualities that are often lost either through age or precisely due to neurodegenerative diseases. and non-contact boxing is the softest and most complete discipline to combat muscle stiffening due to Parkinson's'.
